QuadRidged#

class ansys.aedt.toolkits.antenna.backend.antenna_models.horn.QuadRidged(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Manages a quad-ridged horn antenna.

This class is accessible through the app hfss object [1], [2], [3].

Parameters:

frequencyfloat, optional: Center frequency. The default is 10.0.
frequency_unitstr, optional: Frequency units. The default is "GHz".
materialstr, optional: Horn material. If a material is not defined, a new material, parametrized, is defined. The default is "pec".
outer_boundarystr, optional: Boundary type to use. The default is None. Options are "FEBI", "PML", "Radiation", and None.
length_unitstr, optional: Length units. The default is "mm".
parametrizedbool, optional: Whether to create a parametrized antenna. The default is True.

Returns:

aedt.toolkits.antenna.PyramidalRidged: Pyramidal ridged horn object.

Examples

>>> from ansys.aedt.toolkits.antenna.backend.antenna_models.horn import QuadRidged

>>> oantenna1.frequency = 12.0
>>> oantenna1.model_hfss()
>>> oantenna1.setup_hfss()
>>> oantenna2 = QuadRidged(app, origin=[0.2, 0.5, 0])
>>> oantenna2.model_hfss()
>>> oantenna2.setup_hfss()
>>> app.release_desktop(False, False)
